Fastpage is a content management system (CMS) enabling end users to manage web content, without the need to worry too much about web site design.

Example: Instead of the information being held in a 'Static' web file, the editable areas are defined by placeholders called 'Entities'. The 'Static' web page then becomes a template read by a parsing engine to define the entities. When the page is displayed the information inside the curly braces is replaced by the database content.

Instead of the web page remaining static, in the example above the heading and the content can be changed at any time by the end use.
As a web designer you control what the end user can change and leave other areas like navigation links out of harms way.
It is important to understand the templates are free from PHP code allowing you the freedom to design web pages without worrying about mixing PHP code with the web page. At any time you can change the look and feel of the web page, shift the entities around without destroying the data inside the entity.
